Greetings perl masters!

I am a beginner with perl and I would like to seek your help regarding my script.

My script should find a string within the files then copy it to a directory. When I test copy within my local dirs, the script works. But when I tried to copy from a source dir (which is linux), the script doesn't work.

Please help! Thanks!

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;

my $target = 'C:\target';
my $pattern = 'SearchWord';

open my $copylog, '>', 'C:\target\copylog.csv' or die "Error opening c
+opylog.csv: $!\n";
open STDERR, ">>&=", $copylog or die "Can't redirect STDERR";
$copylog->autoflush(1);

find( sub { 
    if (-f) {
        open my $file, '<', $File::Find::name or die "Error opening fi
+le: $!\n";   
            while (my $line = <$file>) {
                if($line =~ m/$pattern/ig) {
                    copy ($File::Find::name, $target) or die "Copy fai
+led: $!"; 
                    print $copylog $_ . "," . $pattern . "\n";
                    }
                }    
        close $file;
        }
    },glob ('Z:\Linux\site'));

Update:

I had used Loops sample and it worked:

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
use autodie;

my $log = q(C:\target\copylog.csv);
my $target = q(C:\target);
my $pattern = qr(SearchWord);

close *STDERR;  open *STDERR, '>', $log;

find(
    sub {
       if (-f) {
          open my $file, '<', $_;
          while (my $line = <$file>) {
              if($line =~ m/$pattern/ig) {
                    copy ($_, $target);
                    warn "$_, $pattern\n";
                    last;
              }
          }
          close $file;
       }
    },
    glob ('Z:\Linux\site')
);

It seems that copying from a drive with other platform should not be an issue. It is a matter of faulty script that does not make it work. Again, thank you guys for the time spent in dealing with my issue. All pointers are taken and I will apply it in my scripting.

Thanks and best regards!
